LEFT SIDE: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

Rode this once, got so close to being sick. Went back to Universal a few years back and it was my brothers first time riding it. I opted to wait outside in the sun.

[@jslandstudios]

It’s definitely worth trying again, but stay safe and know your limits!

[@Bnizzofashizzo]

Went with a friend and between the ride itself and the moving platform… he echoed your sentiment

[@derick2986]

I rode this ride at least 6 times while i was at the park. One of my favorite rides

[@ayamastar]

Honestly it’s not just this ride that makes me sick. It’s riding ride after ride that forces you to look at a screen for the majority of the time. I feel sick almost every time I go to universal bc they depend heavily on screens to do most of the work.

[@facepalmmedia]

@@ayamastar same. When I went on The Simpsons for the first time I was out of commission for a good 20 minutes. I did Gringots fine because it doesn’t force you to stay in one position and the screens aren’t synced with the movement of the ride. Transformers wasn’t that bad, and the only scene I had trouble with in Spider-Man was the drop scene at the end.

[@derick2986]

It's crazy to hear people getting sick on this ride. It was one of my favorites

[@jslandstudios]

It might be one of your favorites, but people can get sick on it, too! It’s the same for me with haunted mansion at Disneyland. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around people, being scared of it, because I love it so much, but people experience things differently all the time.

[@sunshineq321]

It was really fun and memorable but the part where you sort of fly/fall down, my heart felt as if it came out. It was like the feeling of riding a roller coaster ( when it goes down) so my heart was beating really fast for the rest of the day. Other than that ( and a few screams ofc), it was AMAZING!

I wanted to love this ride so much, but I got so sick on it, I felt awful the rest of the day. I'm also a coaster pro and I go on many rides and never once feel queasy, this was the first ride I ever rode on that made me feel sick.

[@jslandstudios]

I feel like its the mixture of the unexpected vehicle motion (you don't know what you're getting yourself into, while on a roller coaster, you know what to expect) along with the screens that hide the motion.

[@spalderz]

Same here. I enjoy thrill rides but in this ride I have to close my eyes to avoid seeing anything in the screen when we were 'flying'

[@jenniferr7361]

​@@spalderz did closing your eyes really help? I'm going tomorrow

[@Quotabillity]

4:09 I like that part because there’s something about that music part

[@missprincesscarina]

Whoa. This reminds me of Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom cuz it's screens, but this one is really scary cuz the chairs are on the armlifts or something. Otherwise the Animal Kingdom one is just sitting on a bike thing with the restraint in the back and the big screen in the front.

[@jslandstudios]

The only similarity is the sensation of flying. Flight of passage is a stationary vehicle that tilts side to side and moves up and down. This is a physical vehicle on a ride track on a modified version of a mechanical arm developed by Kuka. As far as I know, only two versions of this vehicle exist: one for universal, and one for Warner Brothers for a Batman attraction.

[@emaiscool4543]

girl its not scary its so fun

[@victoria7t]

I and a friend went on this ride a few years ago. Neither one of us are roller coaster enthusiasts in the least but she was a massive Harry Potter fan and I was reassured by how tightly you are locked into these seats so we went. So until I heard her screaming in unison I did not know she had the exact same reaction as me but about halfway through the ride seemed to calm down a little bit so apparently both of us had the same exact idea at the same exact time to open her eyes so that maybe we could at least see some of the ride. At this very moment the dragon's face was in our face with it roaring and spewing smoke at us and you could feel the heat of the breath and you could smell the breath. Literally it seemed like the dragons nose was just inches from our faces. Both of us screamed like we had never scream before in our lives promptly we shut our eyes as tight as we could and kept our eyes shut until we were guaranteed certain that the ride had stopped. 🤣. So literally the only part we actually saw the ride what is the dragon nose-to-nose with us breathing out at us hot sulfuric steam! Don't know about her because we have since lost touch with each other but to this day I laugh at myself about it.

[@jslandstudios]

Oh, wow, what a crazy story! Believe it or not, it’s been proven that closing your eyes on attractions makes them significantly more scary and disorienting as you have no idea where you are going, and you can’t prepare yourself, physically or emotionally, for what you have in front of you.

[@victoria7t]

@@jslandstudios Oh I believe it totally. Just that was a knee jerk reaction when the ride started and definitely when we shows that maybe it might be okay to open her eyes and we opened our eyes to that. But I have been watching POV videos noticed that there is a moment are moments when on this ride you are temporarily totally upside down and if I had my eyes open and knew I was at that time I would have been totally freaking out. As it was I never knew we had moments of being completely upside down until later I was watching a point-of-view video on KZbin

[@jalyssahdz4711]

Does this ride have any real drops like on a coaster?

[@jslandstudios]

No, it does not. The vehicle is on a track that has no vertical movement. The only ups and downs you have are limited by the motion capacity of the robotic arm.

[@FrappeInsider]

This ride is basically the only ride in which I hesitate to do, (THE FLORIDA VERSION) and it still gets me. It's such a tight space and the creatures and spiders get wayyy too close for comfort. I just do it to do it and just sit and bear through the whole thing. If you are scared of anything along the lines of spiders, creatures, or tight spaces, run far far away. Still a great ride! Gotta admit it's very well themed.

[@bobski81]

Can you tell me about the tight spaces? . I would like to try the ride but not sure where the tight spaces feature.

[@FrappeInsider]

@@bobski81 you will be sitting in your own compartment, although big enough to move comfortably you will not be able to put your hands up (by design). Dementors and spiders will be just outside of your reach and things like fog will be blown at you once or twice. They will NEVER touch you or be within your reach. (even if you put your legs all the way out, i've tried kicking them for fun) I am happy to answer any questions about the experience.

[@user-jm8bj1hd3d]

@@bobski81the seat itself is the tight space. its not made for wide bodies and kind of sits you in very deep and enclosed in the seat itself. kinda bad for people who are claustrophobic. esp when it breaks down and youre stuck in an awkward angle in that seat. ive done many times and bear thru it but its not my fav ride. can also make you slightly sick.

[@elstepeeno23]

I’m not the greatest when it comes to roller coasters so any tips on how to avoid getting motion sickness with this ride other than taking medicine and not riding on a full stomach lol. Should I be keeping my head still the entire time or anticipate where to look

[@jslandstudios]

Hey! This ride is definitely not for people with motion, sickness, but if you’re willing to be adventurous, I recommend keeping your eyes open the entire time and always looking ahead of you. Closing your eyes or moving your head a lot can cause disorientation..

[@aviduser1961]

Very good idea to shoot just the left POV. Interesting views "behind the curtain." The concept behind this attraction is simply brilliant. I look forward to a right POV, unless that already exists. Top and Botton views, if possible, should be interesting but would require a low light sensitive camera.

It is definitely good to revisit things as you get older. When I was younger, I used to frequent Universal Orlando resort, and I was absolutely terrified of rip ride rocket and the hulk. Coming back many years later, and conquering my fears by going on those attractions was a wonderful experience, not just because of the thrill of the attraction, but because I was able to return to something that I used to think was so scary and intimidating.

It’s not a terrible ride, but I remember riding it and honestly being more impressed with the queue area than the ride itself. It was just sort of blah. I enjoy the Gringotts ride and even the train more. Busch Gardens Williamsburg had a ride called Curse of DarKastle which was a similar but more grounded screened mover ride that really grew on me over time because it was a good original story not built on existing IP but has since been removed.

[@jslandstudios]

I will have to look into that Busch Gardens ride, but, out of curiosity, are you a fan of Harry Potter, either the books or the movies?

[@maxwellhouse750]

@@jslandstudios Fairly big fan of Harry Potter. Been to the Universal Parks a handful of times over the years. I don’t hate the ride. I just found the movement of the vehicle underwhelming and the area around the various screens not very interesting. I’m also a bigger fan of hand made art (Peter Pan) vs CGI or even a mix of the media done properly as in Universals Secret Life of Pets or Disney’s Mickey’s Runaway Railway. Examples of lazy or poor mixed media is Disneys Smugglers Run and to some degree Ratatouille. Ratatouille could be so much better if the set pieces looked like they had a personal artistic touch instead of just being straight up molded resin.

[@jslandstudios]

I understand your argument, but I hope we can agree to disagree on this one. I think Harry Potter and the forbidden journey, with its incredible forbidden forest, chamber of secrets, Hogwarts bridge/castle, and Dementor scenes (amongst others), relies far more on physical media than it does digital media and only uses the digital media to add in characters/scene transitions that would be incredibly difficult to do in physical form. On that note, I do understand where you’re coming from comparing it to secret life of pets off the leash, where there is never a moment in that attraction where are you are simply staring at a large screen with no props (although the fireworks factory comes close).

Does it go upside down?? Im a ride chicken. I’m bolder tho sometimes if i know it doesn’t go upside down. I am a Harry Potter fan and I love Gringotts. I have gone through the case queue line but always usually bail out at the exit for those walking through. My mom got very sick on this and was experiencing it a whole day. I can usually handle more but i am definitely scared of intense rides. I am trying to conquer this though. Example i loved Cosmic Rewind at Epcot. How intense would you rate this ride on a scale of 1-10? Tips on handling nerves? May be going to the park mid September and hoping to ride this. Any ride that uses shoulder restraints freaks my brain out into thinking it must be really scary or intense

[@jslandstudios]

It does not go upside down, but it does tilt you side to side and almost 180° backwards onto your back. The shoulder restraints are purely for your comfort as upside down attractions might use lap or over the shoulder restraints. Just know, this is the most intense attraction in the park, and, while it is certainly nowhere near as intense as a roller coaster, if you are prone to motion sickness, I would not ride this attraction. On a slightly different note, both of my grandparents who have back issues, went on this attraction and loved it, having no problems.

I remember the last time I rode this it broke down I remember opening my eyes to a giant spider and freaking out

[@mickeyjay298]

Loved this ride. The camera work does not do it justice unfortunately. Made me queasy the 2nd time too

[@jslandstudios]

It’s so difficult to capture some thing like this, you have to see it in person.

[@mariewolf1865]

Is this ride very fast? I'm afraid of fast roller coasters 😅

[@jslandstudios]

Not fast at all. I don’t think it moves faster than five miles per hour.

[@hopeg02]

I think I remember getting a fat migraine after riding this

[@JavierGarcia-pc7vs]

I got stuck on there lol

[@Lemon-and-Banana-Vr]

I cried on this and my face was pale after this

[@laurieford6373]

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

[@rosangelarozera]

Eu fui semana passada em Los Angeles..é uma aventura 😄😄maluca

[@vanessadeandrade2070]

I went on this 10 million times and I loved it soooooooo dang much 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@missprincesscarina]

Make sure you guys keep your belongings that could fly out in your person or something.

[@jslandstudios]

They offer lockers before and after the ride as you are not allowed to bring any bags with you.

[@rats4ever547]

I find looking at the car next to me so cool I always look to the left on this part 0:31

[@jslandstudios]

It’s always fun looking out the corner. I always find myself looking over the left side right after the whomping willow so I can see the extreme movement of the vehicle behind me.

[@rats4ever547]

Yeah! Like right after when you go into the screen, I look to the right and see the people facing the whomping willow. I didn’t imagine it would look like that, it looks like it’s just throwing you around so quickly and aggressively. I’d love if one day when you go back, you posted a video with flash that shows all the movement of the arms from the best views.

[@magacia76]

Lo más parecido a volar! Una experiencia tan vertiginosa como fenomenal! La hice 2 veces, la primera salí fascinada, la 2da mareada y nauseosa, asi que recomiendo hacerla 1 vez! Vale la pena la espera! Fantastica!

[@משפחתלובק]

one word:its crazy❤

[@Kenny_Shark]

Wait how you get lights on

[@jslandstudios]

I didn’t. This is just with the regular show lighting

[@Kenny_Shark]

@@jslandstudios ok but mine was dark

[@jslandstudios]

@@Kenny_Shark it is a dark ride… Not sure I’m understanding what you mean?

[@Kenny_Shark]

Im asking how you get to ride it with light on Mine was prob dark so you dont see all the machine stuff so its like your actually at harry potter place but you got to see the stuff

[@jslandstudios]

@@Kenny_Shark there is no way to ride it with the lights on unless there is a technical issue and they are turned on by Universal. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

[@justinrei_universal9904]

Did you make reservations for the Coca Cola event yesterday?

[@jslandstudios]

I did! Not sure if I’ll be able to attend but it seems like it’s just going to be really fun!

The first time I got on the ride I didn’t watch any of the Harry Potter movies, but it was still fun to go on it, we had the fast passes so I went with my dad. The ride was amazing and very scary I had to close my eyes when I saw the spider and the Demintors because wow how close they get to you….scary. But I thought it was amazing, I’m surprised I didn’t get sick or dizzy. That same day we went again because my sister and mother wanted to ride it but me and my dad had already used the pass for the ride. The guy on the line was kind enough to let us ride again and I am very great full for that today. But on the second time with all the moving of the ride it got stuck, and me and my family where literally facing down, it was a part near the Quidditch match, and I was pretty scared because of how dark it was and since I was about 11 I felt like I was going to fall off my sit or the bars were going to open and let us fall. But the ride was operating again and their we parts of the ride that were missing (The screens) but everything else worked. It was scary but looking back at it it was my first time experiencing a malfunction on a ride. But Harry Potter: And the forbidden Journey, is one of the best rides, especially when you read the books and watch the movies .

Cool video

When I was a kid, I remember riding this ride and feeling so terrified and horrible. I just remember feeling like I was stuck on a wall overlooking my death, and at one point being burned by a dragon. So when I went back to Uni for a school trip, I saw that Escape From Gringotts had screens and a dragon, so I thought I’d face my fears and ride it. And that’s the story of how I tricked myself into riding my first roller coaster 💀💀 Road this one later and it was nothing omg

[@pranyapannem7248]

Best ride ever❤

[@ninopiez7100]

Is it a roller coaster?

[@kerrytakashi12]

More simulator than true rollercoaster. The cars move around a lot. Certain points you can almost be upside down. Don’t eat before riding.

[@alyawaits]

They lift you kinda high huh ?

[@jslandstudios]

Not too high and you are never looking at the ground

[@alyawaits]
